“THE SPECULATING NERD”: AGENTS OF SHIELD (What’s Next For The Rest Of Season 2?!)

Hello, ladies and gentelnerds! Your pal Multi-Verse trying something new again. Every so often, screw that! Every damn time something new in geek news we nerds love to speculate on what it means, what’s going to happen, and so on and so forth! So, why don’t I try to trade mark that! Welcome to my weekly article (hopefully) “THE SPECULATING NERD!” In which I’ll speculate on some shit and give my two cents on it and let my wild imagination run amok! Hopefully it’ll make sense by the end.. Most likely it won’t.. But what the hell! Who gives a shit, I know I don’t!

For my first go at this, lets go over AGENTS OF SHILED:SEASON 2! What could happen next?! Now sit back and watch me speculate the fuck out this shit! (WARNING: For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with AGENTS OF SHIELD from season one till now… SPOILERS AHEAD PEOPLE!!!!!)

The big mystery of season one was.. “How the hell is Coulson still alive!?!” Well, that was solved toward the end of the season, just before the collapse of SHIELD, went and turned everything upside down! Turns out, FURY and SHILED found themselves a little green man from outer space! Well, actually he was BLUE! (So that’s what happened to the fourth member of The Blue Man Group!.. That’s messed up!)

Now it wasn’t just any Blue Alien.. Turns out, Shield had their grubby little mitts on an ancient Kree Alien. We don’t find that out officially from the show itself, (we all knew what it was. But, the characters didn’t.) Until midway through season two. Now. At the end of season one, Coulson started spending his nights mindlessly carving symbols on a wall.  That was the mystery of this season. “What is Coulson Carving?” Turns out he wasn’t the only one who was carving. SHIELD tested out their “T.A.H.I.T.I” project on other fallen SHILED Agents. The Carving was a side effect of the Alien DNA transfusion! It drove them all insane. Hence they came up with the whole Fake Tahiti experience, to erase their memories. Except one guy was starting to remember and was killing off the other Agents in hopes to figure out what the symbols meant. In an earlier episode, Skye theorized that it could be a map. Turns out, she was half right. By the end of the episode with the killer Agent, Coulson figured it out! The symbols weren’t just a two dimensional map.. But instead.. It’s a three dimensional blue print! A blue print for a City! (My mind immediately thought of ATTILAN! The Inhuman City!)

Turns out, before the Kree’s death, the last thing On His mind was to go home! (ET phone home kind of thing) hence why they all saw the symbols. Not only was his healing ability transferred to them, but also his memories.. Or parts of it really! Long story short…

Skye turned out to be comic character.. QUAKE!

In the comics, I believe she’s considered a Mutant! Since, of course because of Rights reasons, Marvel can’t make this a live action fact… But what’s the next best thing?! THE INHUMANS! So, by taking creative licensing in to account with their live action world. Marvel switched things up. This season of AGENTS is clearly a build up of the INHUMAN world! In the comics, Quakes father is MR.HYDE! A scientist who took a formula that increased his strength but also turned him into Mr. Hyde. Not sure about this, (SPECULATION) but I think they are changing Hyde in to an INHUMAN. Doing away with his Back story. (We’ll have to wait and see.)

For those of you who don’t know! Ages and ages ago, The KREE came to earth on a mission of science.They experimented on early man creating the genetic groundwork for THE INHUMANS! It’s a very long story. But, THE TERRIGIN MISTS plays a big role behind their superhuman abilities. AGENTS showcased a version of this process in their mid season finale.

So this got me thinking. What Marvel does, and does right is, lay proper groundwork for their stories. All the single films of PHASE ONE, was the groundwork for THE AVENGERS!

SPECULATION!!!: AGENTS OF SHIELD is the ground work for Not just The Inhumans and the Inhuman movie.. But also, (PERHAPS) CAPTAIN MARVEL!! Certain stories can’t and shouldn’t be told in half the time of a Two/Two and a Half hour film! The beauty of television.. You have time to tell your story, instead of rushing it! What if we are all looking at this the wrong way!? I know I want CAROL DANVERS  on the big screen and I want her there now! (It’s still a strong possibility that they will feature her in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON! We can only SPECULATE!)  But What if we get Carol, on AGENTS OF SHILED! They’ve already given us MOCKINGBIRD! Who’s to say, Carol won’t come into contact with GENIS MAR-VELL (aka CAPTAIN MARVEL) and get her abilities from him on the show!?! 

Just the mere thought of such a thing happening, is Nerdgasm inducing! Remember, Theres a long time from now until CAPTAIN MARVEL hits theaters, giving her story the respect and time she deserves!

Right now, The Inhuman story arc has to play itself out. So I can’t wait to see where everything goes from here on out! SKYE is QUAKE! Things have changed yet again for the AGENTS OF SHIELD and it’s going to be one heck of a ride.

(WRITERS NOTE: I know AGENTS gets a lot of heat for being.. Well… Boring As Fuck! And I’ll admit it myself.. It drags.. It really can. But I honestly believe, it’s saving grace is the universe it inhabits! Season one, I gave up on it after episode 3! I got interested in it after CAPTAIN AMERICA:WINTER SOLDIER but never got around to it. That was until AGENTS hit Netflix. Now I’m hooked! Though some of their story’s, like I said, drag depending on the episode. But when they get to the good stuff. It’s almost worth it! So I highly recommended that those who gave up on AGENTS way back when. Go back, give it a chance. Then catch up on SEASON TWO! Things are getting really good!! Especially with the involvement of The Inhumans!)

Thats going to do it for this 1st edition of “THE SPECULATING NERD!” Let me know what you think. Should I keep it up? Give me your feedback. Thank you for your time!

So, until next time folks… Peace out!

THE FORCE AWAKENS TRAILER REVIEW: WTF Is Going On?!?

Avengers, Dinosaurs and Jedis!! Oh, My!! 2015 is shaping up to be a very solid year for us Nerds and Nerdettes. A good year to set us up for the next, five years of Nerd-Vana we have ahead of us! The other day, we were blessed by the great gods, Disney and LucasFilm and given our first looks in to STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS. With two. That’s right, TWO! Versions of the trailer. One, released in select theaters around the country. And the Second, released world wide via the interwebs!

For those of you who missed it..

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Sweet, sweet, Nerdgasm! My goodness I need a cigarette!

In all honesty, I’m not sure witch one came out where. But I LOVE this one! It has so much more interesting things going on. And the Star Wars theme at the end with the Millenium Falcon soaring in the sky and over the desert facing off against incoming Tie-Fighters! OMG! I got goosebumps! J.J Abrams.. Is. A. Fucking genius!! But.. My goodness gracious… WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!? As awesome as this trailer is. I don’t know what the hell is happening! It basicly made up of random shots of whatever footage they have completed so far. It’s like. Awesome shot/cut to black/Epic shot/cut to black/ Another awesome shot/cut to black/ another Epic Shot!

The most I can tell from the trailer. Is that after the great battle in RETURN OF THE JEDI, Luke was and is the last remaining Jedi.. The Force has remained.. Stagnant  for so many years since then.. Until now! Something has “AWAKENED” both the Light and the Dark side of the FORCE! ( I don’t care what anybody says! I think that Lightsaber looks awesome!)

Another clear thing is..The STORMTROOPERS got new Helmets!! Oh, and whatever was left of the EMPIRE is still out there and they are striking back with a vengeance! (See what I did there!)

We have to, literally, wait a whole YEAR! For EPISODE VII To hit theaters in December 2015. Thank goodness for us. We have so many other films to hold us over till then. I can’t wait! I m going to go dig out my original STAR WARS TRILOGY VHS BOX SET and watch those AND Episodes I, II, III as well. (I don’t care what anybody says! I respect the prequels for what they tried to be! Despite the poor acting, and lack luster Directing!)

So, until next time folks… Peace out!

 

THE JURASSIC WORLD TRAILER: REVIEW

Greetings Ladies and Gentelnerds! As I write this article, we are a day or so removed from Thanksgiving. Although this be late. I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed and joyous holiday! Now that that crap is out of the way…

Earlier this week we were treated to the release of the first ever “JURASSIC WORLD” trailer! If you live under a damn rock! Here it is, for your viewing pleasure!

Awesome! Am I right?! Where to begin?.. Apparently, Jurassic Park, now labeled Jurassic World (ala, Sea World) is now up and running. N-GENE has finally figured out how to make John Hammonds dream come true!From the very start of the trailer it’s clear to us that much like Sea World, the park has its fair share of visitors. And is working full on and has been doing so for a very long time.

But of course, like most conglomerates, N-GENE big wigs and JW show runner, played by the lovely Brice Dallas Howard, want to try and spice things up at the first sight of slumping sales. Decide to create the first ever HYBRID DINOSAUR.. (Do I smell disaster waiting to happen?!? Or is that the massive amounts of dead bodies that are littering the park!?)

At this moment, Universal Pictures have not released any form of what this Dino is, nor what it looks like. (Below is what is rumored to be the “LEAKED” pic of said HYBRID.  Personally, I have no clue whether its real or not. But, I felt l should share the pic with you guys and gals anyway.)

It would appear that the HYBRID, is most likely part T-REX and part.. Uhm.. Whatever the hell this is!! Another thing that’s suggested about the HYBRID, is that it could very well be larger then the great SPINOSAURUS, of JP3 Fame!

( That of course! Is purely based on speculation on my part. Just so you know.)

Our hero of the film is none other then Chris “STARLORD” Pratt! Who plays some sort of Games keeper of the park, who takes it upon himself to find this ‘possibly’ escaped Dino! And at his disposal. Are you ready for this?.. Have some clean-x  ready folks, for this awesome Nerdgasm that’s about to hit ya!

To help him hunt down this HYBRID, He has at his disposal, A PACK OF VELOCIRAPTORS!!

Tell me you didn’t bust a load as soon as you saw that! Yeah you did!

This trailer was very solid for a first one. It hit all the right notes. I seriously can’t wait for June 2015!

If there’s anything that stood out to you from this trailer. Please feel free to hit me up and let me know what you thought of it as well. Thats going to do it for me folks. Thanks for joining me,

So, until next time folks… Peace out!

 

 

 

 

What Dreams Are Made Of: A Look At Marvel’s Phase 3 Line-Up!

Hey there, Ladies and Gentelnerds! Lets skip the pleasantries and get down to business.

The Marvel Event! Where Marvel Studios Mastermind, Kevin Fiege, announced the dates and Tittles of 9 ( Count it again. NINE!) Marvel Phase 3 Films. And they go a little something like this!

MAY 6th, 2016: CAPTAIN AMERICA, CIVIL WAR!

The one everyone has been chomping at the bit for, for years. It’s finally official! Since the announcement, of RDJ joining the cast of Captain America 3. Everyone and thier great great grandmother has speculated and gossiped that Civil War was happening. Well, speculate no more Granny! It’s true! At first, as a surprise to everyone that was at the Marvel Event, Kevin introduced Cap 3 with the bi-line Serpent Socity! It wasn’t til later that he revealed the true tittle to be Civil War. If you think Age Of Ultron is going to change the landscape of the MCU, Think again. Its just the beginning. And Civil War is going to be the one to really rock the boat! As the comic did for Marvel Comics, the film will do the same for the Cinamatic Universe. Not only will it change how the MCU works from that point on. But also the people inside it. It’s going to be very different from the story that we know and love. But the core premise is going to stay in tact to some extent or another. I’m really looking forward to see how it’s all put together, and how the ramifications of Civil War on the rest of the films to come.

NOVEMBER 4, 2016: DR. STRANGE!

( In my opinion) Probably the only film in this line up, that would most likely be an origin story film. Though, as I write this, Benedict Cummerbach has not been officially confirmed to be the Doc, but all signs point to yes! He will be our Sorcerer Supreme! I’m very interested in how his story will be told. I for one LOVED the animated Dr. Strange movie. It was very well plotted and told and I would like if they did it similar to that. Perhaps with the Civil War environment in the background. I had done some research on Strange (as in, I came across a small article in an old Wizard magazine [Remember those!?] and it explained the abilities and powers the EYE OF AGOMOTTO possess) according to the tiny article. The EYE grants Strange the ability to peer into Space and “TIME”! Now. By my count, that’s one of the stones that has not been featured in a film. Yet! Perhaps. Upon receiving the EYE, and discovers what it can do. Maybe he goes back in TIME! To save his sister, who died on HIS operating table. I don’t know. That’s just me! It could also be the Soul Gem!? But I can’t Think of anything to support that theory.

MAY 5, 2017: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2!

GOTG 2 was supposed to be a little later on in the summer of 2017. But, with the MONSTROUS success of the first film. Which for me, is an automatic classic now. Marvel has so much faith in it. That they punched it up to be the one that launches Marvels Summer 2017 Roster. Not a lot has been let out about the plot of this one. James Gunn suggested they could explore Star-Lords parentage. Because of the Galaxy Wide playground they have. Anything! Can happen. Anyone! Could make their debut in this movie. (Wish it was Silver Surfer… But that’s an angry rant I made awhile back.. Look it up!) Over the course of the film. We’ll probably get more Thanos, then in the first one! Can’t wait for that. This is only a guess on my part. But, this one could tie directly into INFINITY WAR!

JULY 28, 2017: THOR; RAGNAROK!

THE END IS NIGH!! At least, according to Norse Mythology. This one is going to be an epic Thor film! We don’t know what to expect from RAGNAROK! We don’t know where we will find Thor after the events of ULTRON, and Civil War. What we fans DO expect, based off the tittle alone, is SURTUR! The Demon set to bring about the end times for all the Nine Realms! The story brought to us by the great Walt Simonson. Within the story, it’s revealed Odin and his brothers stole this great fire from SURTUR! The very flame SURTER was going to use to place his great sword into and cause about the end of days! A truly compelling story that takes us to so many places, between Earth and Asgard. A big hope for this movie, is the introduction of, my personal favorite, BETA RAY BILL! Whom was teased or Easter egged in The Collectors Museum in GOTG! Since the explosion from the Power Stone, BETA RAY is free! So he could be a possibility. I PRAY HE SHOWS UP! SURTUR himself is a sight to behold. Can’t wait to see that. Before I move in to the next tittle. Our favorite God of Mischif, LOKI will be returning. Perhaps, while posing as All-Father ODIN. He gets the news of SURTUR’s impending threat and reveals himself and his disguise to get help from Thor, and maybe, just maybe! We’ll find out WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ODIN?!?

NOVEMBER 3, 2017: BLACK PANTHER!

YESSSS!!! Praise the great Panther God!! Finally! T’Chala, King of the great nation of Wakanda, Comes to life! This is one of the two we’ve all been waiting for. And not just for diversitys sake. But because He So Damn Awesome! Marvel has hinted that they have been eyeing a BP movie for a few now. And before this announcement was made, we all got the idea that this movie was coming, thanks in part to the Ultron trailer, which dropped about a week before. Within the trailer, a quick shot of Andy Serkis is shown sporting a VERY signature look leading many and myself, to believe he has been cast as Alexander Klaw. For those of you not familiar with the name. He is BP’s main bad guy! So, 1+1= AWESOME! If your wondering who’s going to be our King. Non other then Chadwick Boesman. Star of such films as 42: The Jackie Robinson Story, and Get On Up! Playing James Brown. Both I recommend you folks see, in order to grasp how good of an actor he is. Another  thrilling aspect for the inclusion of BP into the MCU, is the man himself and the character dynamic he brings to the fold. He is a King, a Royal! How does his character meld with someone like a Tony Stark, Black Widow, or Steve Rogers. The only person I can see him relating to is Thor, who knows what it is to be a royal. And perhaps Bruce and Tony because of the intellect they all have in common. (Black Panther is considered one of the eight smartest men in the Marvel comics universe.) So, all that is something to look forward to, as phase 3 progresses.

 JULY 6, 2018: CAPTAIN MARVEL!

(Avengers: Infinity War part 1, actually precedes Marvel by two months, premiering in May of ’18. But I decided to save both parts of A:IW for last on this list) Well, it’s about damn time! Captain Marvel has her day in the sun! That’s right folks, Carol Danvers is coming to the big screen at long last! Much like BP, we don’t have any clues to what is to expect from this movie, story wise. And although they have not officially announced WHO, is Carol Danvers. There is reason to believe that Kevin Fiege and the Geniuses of Marvel Studios, already know and have their Captain casted an ready to go. I for one believe so, and would not be surprised to be introduced to her in either AGE OF ULTRON, CIVIL WAR, or AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Part 1! In fact! My Nerd-Senses tell me she will play a significant role within A:IW p1. Which is why it may lead directly  into her solo film. That being said. For those of you not really familiar with Carols back story. Here’s a quick synopsis. Carol, Air Force Pilot, gets involved with the Avengers, meets Captain Marveel (aka Captain Marvel Kree Warrior turned earth superhero.) She gets captured, he rescues her just before a “Super Science” named bomb goes off and he shields her from the blast. Resulting in his DNA merging with hers and she gets all his powers becoming MS. MARVEL! And I guess that should sum it all up.. If I’m forgetting anything, just goggle the rest. Now! I don’t think such an origin is going to be put into place. (If I’m not mistaken, I believe SHIELD has been messing around with KREE technology or DNA!? Which I think explained COULSON still being alive on the TV show. I don’t know, cause I got bored with the show around Ep.3 of season one, and haven’t watched ever since.) Another Option is, they could probably get away with making her origins have to do with the INHUMANS. (Which happens to be the next one in the line up.) Whatever they do do with Carol, I have complete faith in Marvel and that they will do it with the upmost respect for the character, and make her super BadAss!

NOVEMBER 2, 2018: THE INHUMANS!

This tittle has been in every single Fan-Made Mock line up! So much so, that I was very surprise to see it in the real one! Probably the closest group of characters that Marvel has in it’s cabinet, that comes close to Mutants. (Which Marvel dosent have the rights to.) So it would be interesting to see how they approach this property. Will they keep the Kree involvement in their creation. Will the TERAGIN MIST be included. (SIDE NOTE: The fact that Marvel even owns the rights to The Inhumans is surprising itself! The Inhuman Race and the Royal Family made thier first appearances in the pages of The Fantastic Four. Sooo…. Yeah! Maybe I’ll go into further detail on that in another Blog.) There are so many things to be hopeful about with this film. And so many characters to look forwar to seeing! BLACK BOLT, MADUSA and LOCKJAW are on top of my list! (I’m hopping the talk of Vin Diesel as Black Bolt never comes true! I like the guy. Don’t get me wrong. I just don’t want him as Black Bolt.. I JUST DON’T!) Whats also interesting is its placement within the schedule. INHUMANS premiers in November, closing out 2018.. But that would also mean (most likely) that it will tie in to the second part of…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!

MAY 2018: Part 1- MAY 2019: Part 2:

THIS IS IT FOLKS! IT’S ALL BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS, SINCE PHASE ONE OF MARVELS “NERDGASMIC” CINEMATIC  UNIVERSE!INFINITY WAR!

Part one comes before CAPTAIN MARVEL, and Part two follows INHUMANS, suggesting these four films will tie together significantly.  For a very long time. Hell, since the first AVENGERS after credits scene. We all suspected INFINITY GAUNTLET! So to hear them call it INFINITY WAR, Is a little surprising. (For those who don’t know. WAR was the follow-up Event to GAUNTLET. Which I then followed by CRUSADE.) Of course the films have the right to use creative licensing in their projects. Which could mean, that all though it will be called WAR, the story itself could resemble GAUNTLET more then WAR itself. So much is yet to happen in this slate of films in order to build up to this massive event. So many key players have yet to be announced. There is truly so much to be excited about for the next four years! So much is yet to happen! So much news and updates to these films are to come. To further suggest whether or not our assumptions are correct or not. (Knowing my luck, none of what I think may come out to be true at all!)

As I complete This wok of pure hot shit! News and/or rumors came out that fan  favorite LOKI, will be in INFINITY WAR! To fill the role MEPHISTO plays in INFINITY GAUNTLET, perhaps?!? Being in Thanos’s ear as he wields the gauntlet!? Maybe! We’ll just have to wait and see!

Thats gonna do it for me folks…. HEY!! WAKE UP! Yeah, I saw you sleeping over there. “Resting your eyes my ass!”

So, untill next time folks… Peace out!
